EV WORLD: Best Approach to Electric Car Range-Extension Still Evolving

EV WORLD: Best Approach to Electric Car Range-Extension Still Evolving: "EVs are clean, quiet and efficient. But at the present, they have a limited range of not much more than 100 miles. For electric vehicles (EVs) to become ubiquitous, it may be necessary for them to employ range extender technology. (A range extender is an internal-combustion engine that produces electricity, to charge an EV's batteries while underway. So, you don't have to find an electrical outlet, and then wait a few hours to re-charge when your batteries are low). And here's some delicious irony. If adding a range extender enables the success of the EV, then an internal-combustion engine will have killed the internal-combustion engine (as the main way of powering cars). The engine, so to speak, will have destroyed the engine's main purpose."
